Let $ p \geq 2$ be a prime number. Eduardo and Fernando play the following game making moves alternately: in each move, the current player chooses an index $i$ in the set $\{0,1,2,\ldots, p-1 \}$ that was not chosen before by either of the two players and then chooses an element $a_i$ from the set $\{0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9\}$. Eduardo has the first move. The game ends after all the indices have been chosen .Then the following number is computed: $$M=a_0+a_110+a_210^2+\cdots+a_{p-1}10^{p-1}= \sum_{i=0}^{p-1}a_i.10^i$$. The goal of Eduardo is to make $M$ divisible by $p$, and the goal of Fernando is to prevent this. Prove that Eduardo has a winning strategy. [i]Proposed by Amine Natik, Morocco[/i]

(a) Determine all pairs $(x, y)$ of (real) numbers with $0 < x < 1$ and $0 <y < 1$ for which $x + 3y$ and $3x + y$ are both integer. An example is $(x,y) =( \frac{8}{3}, \frac{7}{8}) $, because $ x+3y =\frac38 +\frac{21}{8} =\frac{24}{8} = 3$ and $ 3x+y = \frac98 + \frac78 =\frac{16}{8} = 2$. (b) Determine the integer $m > 2$ for which there are exactly $119$ pairs $(x,y)$ with $0 < x < 1$ and $0 < y < 1$ such that $x + my$ and $mx + y$ are integers. Remark: if $u \ne v,$ the pairs $(u, v)$ and $(v, u)$ are different.

A total fixed amount of $N$ thousand rupees is given to $A,B,C$ every year, each being given an amount proportional to her age. In the first year, A got half the total amount. When the sixth payment was made, A got six-seventh of the amount that she had in the first year; B got 1000 Rs less than that she had in the first year, and C got twice of that she had in the first year. Find N.

Csongi bought a $12$-sided convex polygon-shaped pizza. The pizza has no interior point with three or more distinct diagonals passing through it. Áron wants to cut the pizza along $3$ diagonals so that exactly $6$ pieces of pizza are created. In how many ways can he do this? Two ways of slicing are different if one of them has a cut line that the other does not have.

Let $T$ be the intersection of the common internal tangents of circles $C_1$, $C_2$ with centers $O_1$, $O_2$ respectively. Let $P$ be one of the points of tangency on $C_1$ and let line $\ell$ bisect angle $O_1TP$ .

In a summer camp that is going to last $n$ weeks, you want to divide the time into $3$ periods so that each period starts on a Monday and ends on a Sunday. The first period will be dedicated to artistic work, the second will be for sports and in the third there will be a technological workshop. During each term, a Monday will be chosen for an expert on the topic of the term to give a talk. Let $C(n)$ be the number of ways in which the activity calendar can be made. (For example, if $n=10$ one way the calendar could be done is by putting the first four weeks for art and the artist talk on the first Monday; the next $5$ weeks could be for sports, with the athlete visit on the fourth Monday of that period; the remaining week would be for the technology workshop and the talk would be on Monday of that week.) Calculate $C(8)$.

There are 4 coins, 3 of which are real, which weigh the same, and one is fake, which differs in weight from the rest. Cup scales without weights are such that if equal weights are placed on their cups, then any of the cups can outweigh, but if the loads are different in mass, then the cup with a heavier load is sure to pull. How to definitely identify a counterfeit coin in three weighings and easily establish what is it or is it heavier than the others?
